Re: Lime question.
There isn't anywhere near enough info to answer the question - it's sort of like "how long do I wait at a traffic light?".
What did you apply, how much per 1000 sq ft, and when did you apply it?

Re: Lime question.
It was dolomitic lime that I applied 2 weeks ago. After a overseeding.Also was mistaken I put down about 40lbsper 1000 sq ft.

Re: Lime question.
I would not put down any more Lime for 90 days. That isn't how long it takes to get cheap dolomitic Lime to integrate (which is up to 12-14 months), but you can (pretty safely) switch to good calcitic stuff without harming the grass. Keep it at half doses for the remainder of the season, and pick it up with full doses in the Spring.

Re: Lime question.
.Thanks Andy, quick question I did my overseed 3 weeks ago and just applied starter fert 18-24-6 3 days ago because phosphorous was very low. Would it be ok to put some bay state fert down with some 0-0-50 and 2tbl/1k of boron. My soil test came back 0.0 of boron. KGB and PRG started germinating 2 weeks ago. Thank you for your help. I wish I found this site before I started this overseesding. This is a new lawn started this May.

Re: Lime question.
Sorry, I only build/recommend plans based on labs I know and trust. I'd be happy to help once I have a set of results from Logan Labs.
